Owning vs. Renting
The Royal Yacht Club Membership
Renting such a magnificent yacht, is not only very difficult (few if any marinas even offer the service), but also rent charges are between $300 and $400 per HOUR when they are available (and in most cases you are renting an older vessel)
Membership is based on guaranteed usage, just like your Royal Resorts Membership Members select the number of days they wish to enjoy the vessel
Membership of one or more days in the Royal Yacht Club, means guaranteed use of the vessel and a pre-fixed lower price in today’s dollars
You select the day of the week and your yacht will be waiting for you, with a Captain, First Mate and a full tank of fuel
Sharing Costs
Service Excellence The RYC crew will take care of your during your day. From serving drinks and any optional food items, to helping you with fishing, snorkeling and swimming
Royal Yacht Club Membership can make you the Master of a fully equiped luxury yacht (worth over $350,000 dollars) for a fraction of the price because you share investment, maintenance and operation costs with other Members
And best of all, at the end of the day, simply take your things and leave, RYC staff will clean and maintain the vessel for the next day’s adventure 6
